Bibliography on Action-Based Research Methods
Action-based research is about making material and social change during our research, through methods and methodologies, rather than after data has been collected.

I met him in Paris for the release of his latest book, The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy.
EXTRACT
…social movements are not about seizing power right away: it’s about changing the way we think about politics.
